Arcade Sticks

Who here uses them? I myself have been using one for almost two years, and it has IMMENSELY helped my execution. Here's mine

im wanna preorder mortal kombat 9 for ps3 which come's with a arcade stick and the krato's dlc

i would get that, but the lay out that thing is...interesting...and i don't like those buttons either...from what i can tell, those look like happs...i prefer my sanwa :P

Looks like you play some GG with that button layout. Good stuff. I'm also guessing that you got etched full-panel replacement plexi from Art's Hobbies.

I made a huge thread about how I modded my stick here :

I use one. I have 3 as of right now. A TE, a tupperware stick, and a wooden case stick. Been using sticks since '96 when I used to go to arcades, but never owned one until 2 years ago when I first bought the Round 1 TE.

But anywho, for right now, my current TE looks like this :



My tupperware stick looks like this :



and my wooden one looks like this :

I was thinking of getting one for a while now.

How do you put custom art on it?

On the TE stick?

Here's a very simple guide in doing so :

Just make sure if you are not using plexi, get the art lami-labeled.

I actually prefer using the d-pad myself. I just can't get used to using a stick. I do loooooooove the way that you can customize them though. If I ever get more into fighting games then I would use a stick, but since I only play them casually I won't.

I used to be like that too, being all clingy to the d-pad and not budging on that. But then one day I suddenly had the urge to get one, so I started practicing, and it's upped my game be a lot

Well, you can mod your Pad too. Depending on what pad you have, you could always mod it to make it something more like this :

I would love one!!! My older brothers have some but won't let me use the ones they own because they're like sacred treasures that no one else can touch lol ;~;

i would love to make my own custom made one!! that's so awesome i'll make sure to do that when i get one of my own

You should build your own out of tupperware or cardboard boxes. It'll be a start in learning how to build your own, even though it's "ghetto". :D

"Ghetto" sticks are always awesome to see.

stick > pad, just a matter of getting used to the things.

currently i have about four of em, and another coming in the mail. two ps2, one ps3, one 360, ps3 one coming.

and I will forever have a hatred towards tupperware sticks due to a past event :(

^ wow, that's quite a few o.O

i only have 2, one PS3 wireless, and the one i had a pic for earlier, which works on PS1/2/3/360/GC :P guess how much money I pumped into that one >.>

I help do tournaments and gatherings in the area, so it's been mostly me trying to get two sticks for each setup (one PS2, one PS3, one 360) so that the setups are always complete.

still need a second 360 stick though, but then again everyone in norcal has 360s so i've never needed it.

i want to dual mod some of them, but im lazy. plus I hear it's a real pain to do unless you're using a 360 stick as the starting point :\

I knew it was modded with a MC cuthulu, especially when I saw that the start/select button was drilled into the TE wing. My TE is only Dual-Modded with a ChImp, but it works just fine for both PS3 and Xbox 360. The other ones I use for PS2/PS1 and both my TE and my built sticks work fine on PC.

mine? no, mine was modded the hard way :P padhacked sf4 pad for 360 (the one with 6 face buttons) stuffed in there, as well as a padhacked ps1 pad. The button on the side is actually exclusively for Blazblue, for taunting...guess which character I play :P

Totally forgot it was PS3. PS3 TEs are a bit annoying to dual-mod because of the PCB. Oh well, at least your TE still works correct?

Also, BB character : Tao because of the taunt loop if I'm not mistaken... Just wondering, why not map it to like R2/L1 button instead?

it still works perfectly. actually, that button on the side is mapped to L1, and is mostly for the arcade feel. I found out I put way too many quarters into that BBCS cab... ^_^"

Awkward way to simulate the vewlix layout (mainly due to the slant) but whatever works, I guess!

Ordered a Hori V3 SA yesterday. Shipping went fast, should have it tomorrow :)

I totally wanna buy a Hori VLX or a VX/V3. Those look so good! Especially the Arcana Heart version of the VX.
